The National Opera.

According to Mr.. J. Gosehe, the ad-
vance agent of the National Opera Com.
pany, the rendition of the Merry Wives
of Windsor. mueic by Nicolai, was
enthusiastically received last Monday at
San Francisco, and the criticisms of the
press were of the most fattering nature.
The music is pronounced delightful and
sparkling, the plot very amusing and the
ballet, when the Elves and Bees take
charge of Falstatf in the woods, excruci-
atiugly funny. The scenery is very fine
and historically correct. This opera
will be given in Los Angeles at the
Thursday matinee. The hrst car of
scenery will arrive here on Saturday,
and the artists will reach Los Angeles on
Monday morning in special trains, COM
posed in oil of twenty.nine cars. The

bated, and those who are desirous OF
obtaining any should at once secure
them, as otherwise they will positively
be disappointed, the time of the per

hardly necessary to repeat that the
arrangements completed with the rail-
roads are of such a perfect nature that
all people living outside.of the city will
find no trouble in getting homo after
each performance.

DENVER, May ll.---Grand Master
Workman Powderly was to-day shown a
telegram from Chicago. dated Monday,
which stated that circulars had been
sent to prominent Labor Assemblies in
California, Oregon, Colorado, Nebraska,
Illinois, Michigan and Missouri, by
Assembly sl33, of Portland, Oregon,
denouncing him for rejoicing in the
result of the Chicago municipal election,
and which demanded that he be deposed
from Office. Mr.. Powderly stated that
"there was not word OF truth in the
report; that the merits claimed for
its publication is sufficient in.
dication OF its untruthfulness.
If the Knights have quarrels or any
grievances against their officers they do
not rush into print. They have their
own Courts and any charges against me
will be brought up i'll an assembly meet
ing in regular form. The handful of
anarchists in this country have, sbeen
making all sorts of moves in order TO
gain admission into the Knights of
Labor and cause dissatisfaction. Thus
far they have failed, and every few
weeks they attempt to spread over the
country through the newspapers report
of some new dissatisfaction in the ranks
of our organization" Mr.. Powderly
leaves for the East tonight.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
SAN Francisco, May ll.--Dispatches
received here to-day state that there
were severe frosts yesterday morning,
and this morning in Sonoma, Napa,
Livermore and Santa Clara valleys, and
that severe injury was done to most OF
the vineyards in those districts. A gen.
tIeman interviewed from Napa valley
last evening. said the vineyards were
black from frost. In consequence of
these reports of damage. there was a
marked advance in the price of wine by
those dealers and producers who had a
large stock on hand. Tomorrow john
L. Beard and Juan Gallegos. of the Mis-
sion of San Jose. will start on ;our of
inspection through Napa and Sonoma
valleys. They will report the result of
their observations to the Viticultural
ommission. The frost at Mission San
Jose, last night, was 50 severe as to kill
all the bean plants in the gardens. The
latest frost ever known in the vineyard
district of Upper California in previous
seasons was on the 5th of May.

Land sales On the santa
GerIrudes.

EDITOR HERALD-On a visit to the
vicinity of New San Gabriel river to-day
| found that lands on those rich alluvial
plains are being rapidly purchased, and
at prices quite satisfactory TO the late
owners. Mr.. Turner sold 20 acres at
$3.50 on acre, AMI the purchaser was
offered an advance of $500 10 month
after ON his bargain. Mr.. East, living
near the junction of the Anaheim and
Downey road, sold 80 acres for 5000 an
acre; Mr.. Robert Reynolds sold 20 acres
for $3.50 an acre; Mr.. Banks, the well
known agent of the Southern Pacific
Railroad Company at Downey, sold 40
acres for $500 an acre, about one and
one. half miles southeast of Downey.
The Downey Land Association sold all
their remaining lots in one day, and
there is scarcely lot in the town but
has changed hands IN the last month.
Mr.. VIM. Harper sold his place at $50
an acre some weeks since. Mr.. Stewart,
the fruit culturist, was offered and re-
fused $500 an acre. Much of the land
is rich sandy loan. That which is
largely composed of sand seems to stand
dronth better than the mesa or upland.
l.. J. Rose, who is number one authority
in the matter, said in public speech at
q meeting OF vineyardists that the
sandy lands in the vicinity of the
San Gabriel rivers were the best adapted
to the raisin grape and produced finer
samples than any other lands in the
State. These lands, along and between
the Old and New Rivers, are the finest
OF corn land, and l25 bushels per acre
have been raised A wager was made
and two acres measured and produced
by the testimony of reliable men the
above yield. Fulton Wells is also u
place of much attraction now and tho
town site is now being plated. The
supposition is that the Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fe Railroad will run near, as
the operations of the engineers indicate
that it will pass very near II not through
the place. The waters of these wells are
very effieacious in rheumatism and num-
bers of our citizens will attest the won
derful cures performed by them. The
vicinity had not met with much atten-
ton from the tourist and landseeker
until recently, but public attention is
now directed towards it as the late sales
indicate. TRAVELLER.

Proposition TO Establish One I'm
Alaska.
A well-known Eastern philanthropist
of New York. Alonzo II. Webb, is in
the city en- route to Alaska. where he is
going as a representative of the United
States Prison Reform Association. His
mission is to inspect Alaska with view
of reporting on its adaptability as
penal colony for the United States.
This question has been discussed consid.
erably throughout the East, and there
are quite number who think that
Alaska would be just the place for such
a colony. Mr.. Webb stated yesterday
that he hoped to find Alaska suitable for
penal colony, and If he did find il so
he and the association he represents
would use their utmost endeavors to
have IL declared government penal
colony. The problem of the disposal of
the convicts was one difficult to solve,
but in his opinion the selection would
aid materially in the matter. The Grim.
inal element is constantly increasing in
numbers, as the statistics will show,
and it is time that some steps should be
taken to dispose Of those who are con-
victed. The sooner this is done the bet.
ter it would be for the country. There
are at present over $4,000 criminals in
the various prisons in the United States.
The prisons are crowded and in many
Instances over.crowded and more ac-
commodations must be provided or else
penal colony should be established.
such as ia suggested. II by establishing
the colony the various communities can
be cleared of the criminal element, SO.

Mr.. Webb viii devote three months
or more to his Investigation of Alaska.
and his report will probably be very in
teresting to this as well as every other
community where criminals are to be

BERLIN, May 1.-THE Russian Gov.
ernment desires all merchants in Posen,
having commercial Interests beyond the
Russian frontier 10 pay taxes as MEM
bers of the Russian merchants guild,
and to obtain licenses from the Russian
Minister, to trade. The semi-of6cial
press, commenting ON this and the new
Russian duties on metals, displays great
Indignation. The Cologne Gazette says
this course constitutes crushing blow
to German industries, and is also blow
to the previous Russian policy. The
policy is not that of the present official
leaders. Ii shows that the Katkof, and
not the De Giers party, commands the
real power. Such measures can only
have the object of affecting the political
attitude of the country against which
